It's Love Fest time again, Shandies!!! 🎉 We couldn't be more delighted to welcome The Season 2 Golden Bachelor himself—International man of mystery Mel Owens—and his lovely, multi-talented winner, Peg Munson! This is a particularly unique Love Fest, because unbeknownst to Shandy, Mel and Peg watched ALL the Dear Shandy recaps of their season! And trust us, they came with NOTES. 😱Today Mel and Peg pull back the curtain on their relationship and truth BOMBS are dropped at every turn. We get Mel's unfiltered thoughts on his infamous pre-filming podcast appearance and the very unexpected backstory of Peg's unicycle! We learn how these two complement each other, what hurdles they've overcome, and learn their incredible love and life advice. Best of all, since they watched Dear Shandy along the way, Mel and Peg aren't afraid to tell Shandy what they got right (and very, very wrong)! Finally, a hilariously disastrous Newlyweds Game that defies all the rules! Who knows who better?

It's Q&A time! We're back, answering YOUR burning questions! If you and your podcast co-host disagree on whether or not to release an episode, should you compromise or stick to your perfectionism? If you know a relationship is doomed, is it still worth exploring for the experience of having "loved and lost"? If your entire family has near-daily Zoom calls, are you the A-hole for not wanting to participate? And if your husband gifts you a solo sex toy for your anniversary, is it kinky or just plain rude?? Come join us in our living room for the Shandy take!Interested in getting the Shandy take but don't want to appear on the podcast?
